Acronis Cyber Protection Solutions deliver outstanding defense in depth (DiD) threat protection via a set of smartly integrated technologies, each of which works to prevent possible threats along dedicated stages.
- Full stack protection technologiesContains AI-, behavior- and signature-based detection and response
- Security against any threatProtects against known/unknown malware and ransomware, and fileless attacks
- Combat emerging threatsUses behavioral heuristics and dynamic detection rules to combat emerging threats
- Detect any kind of malwareScans files for trojans, viruses, backdoors, worms, keyloggers, spyware, and others
What is malware?
Malware is malicious software that is intentionally designed to damage a system or steal data. Malware is most often used by cybercriminals for financial gain, but can also be distributed as a form of protest or as an offensive weapon in the state-sponsored attacks that have become increasingly popular. Common forms of malware include viruses, trojans, worms, spyware, ransomware, botnets and any other type of potentially unwanted application.
- Damages a system or steals data
- Used by cybercriminals for financial gain
- Includes viruses, trojans, worms, spyware, ransomware, etc.
Effectiveness proven by independent testing laboratories
AI-enhanced web security to stop online attacks
Since the majority of threats come from the internet, it is essential to control access to specific websites that are known to be unsafe and to legitimate websites that may have been compromised and now contain malicious content.
Acronis Web Security delivers a URL analysis and filtering functionality from its cloud reputation database (Acronis Cloud Brain). Local detection rules for malicious and phishing URLs are kept in Acronis Cyber Protection Solutions, ensuring protection even when there are disruptions to the internet connection.
Acronis URL filtering is enhanced with payload analysis and a machine learning model, which analyzes both the link itself and the page’s structure.
- Stops drive-by downloadsIntercepts HTTP/HTTPS requests and stops attempts to silently download malware
- Blocks malicious websitesProtects against any phishing sites and blocks sites that distribute malware
- Focus on current cyber threatsIdentifies scams using themes that leverage actual threats, such as COVID-19
- Extensive threat intelligenceIntegrates intelligence from industry partners into Acronis’ detection technologies

Acronis multilayered cybersecurity
Understand how Acronis uses multiple defense layers to prevent, detect, and respond to modern cyber threats.
Zero-day exploit prevention to cover unknown vulnerabilities
When not delivered via malicious links and attachments, malware often infects machines via unpatched vulnerabilities. The most dangerous ones are zero-day vulnerabilities, for which no patch exists to fix the flaw.
Exploit prevention is a very important part of Acronis multilayered, next-generation protection: specifically tracking and detecting malware that attempts to take advantage of software vulnerabilities. It uses behavior-based detection heuristics that are crafted with vulnerability exploitation in mind.
- Vulnerability patchingCovers unpatched vulnerabilities so dangerous malware can’t exploit them
- Protection against any exploitIs effective against every known exploit technique, including memory exploits
- Behavior-based exploit preventionA special set of behavioral heuristics that’s constantly updated by Acronis experts
- Prevent fileless exploitsWorks well against fileless attacks, that signature-based techniques can’t detect
Acronis Cloud Brain: fast signature-based cloud detection
Acronis harnesses the power of cloud-delivered detection through its network of data centers around the globe. When the Acronis Cyber Protection agent on an endpoint device detects something suspicious, metadata is sent to the cloud for additional analysis and research, including sandboxing, AI-enabled processing, and so on. More sophisticated threats can be analyzed by a human expert as well. A detection record is then created, which becomes instantly available to all other endpoints that are connected to the Acronis Cloud.
Signature-based detection gives you additional reassurance against all known threats, since you still occasionally encounter them. To make the detection process faster, most of cloud-, behavioral-, and AI-based detections eventually become signatures as well.
- Globally updated signaturesFaster access in every region due to Acronis data centers located around the globe
- Nearly-instantanenous updatesNew detections are available for every customer within minutes of the first encounter
- AI-enabled data processingMore effective detection models, thanks to AI-enabled data processing
- Zero false positivesIncreased accuracy of false free verdicts due to allowlisting, sandboxing, etc.
NextGen AI-based static and injection detection
Acronis Static AI Analyzer uses a unique set of parameters to examine Windows executables and dynamic link libraries (DLLs) to determine whether or not a process is malicious. The machine learning (ML) model is trained on both malicious and clean files in the Acronis Cloud Brain, which has already processed dozens of millions of files (while evaluating details such as the presence and validity of a digital certificate). Files are constantly analyzed in the Acronis Cloud Brain where the ML model is also trained via sandboxes and other security tools.
Another AI model is responsible for detecting malicious injections into legitimate processes: a complex technique currently used by many sophisticated types of malware.

- Static AI analyzerDetect malware triggered without execution
- Defense in depthDifferent models are used to effectively detect different threats
- Continous improvementNew models are tested every hour to improve efficiency and combat evolving threats
Powerful behavioral heuristics to catch sophisticated threats
Acronis’ behavioral engine analyzes suspicious kernel-level events, as well as events coming from the Windows operating system. These heuristic rules are easily updatable, enabling Acronis’ security specialists to quickly react to new, developing threats.
The behavioral engine is a very powerful tool for detecting fileless threats such as memory or script-based attacks, which are often used as a part of an APT invasion.
- Protection against any malwareExtends the power of Acronis Active Protection to address every type of malware link
- Powerful exploit preventionEffectively deals with fileless attacks and various exploit prevention techniques
- Dynamic detection rulesProtection against polymorphic and obfuscated malware
- Smart protection plansCan be updated at any moment to add protection against new, emerging threats
Global and local allowlists for aggressive scans with zero falso positives
To detect and prevent more complex threats, it’s important to allow your anti-malware solution to make more aggressive heuristic choices. However, the more aggressive the heuristics are, the more false positives are introduced – reducing productivity rates.
- Improved detection rateMore aggressive behavioral heuristics for more effective detection of malware
- Automatic allowlistingAutomatically allowlists applications for time-efficiency
- Manual allowlistingSupports manual allowlisting, if needed
- Zero false positivesProven zero false positives by independent third party tests
